My Recurring Thought
My Recurring Thought
Written: by Tom Wright

There are times in every life,
When at God’s urging, we do things
That we aren’t able to understand His reason for doing them;
Things that perhaps, to us, make no sense at all;
We think, it’ll disrupt things, let someone else do it,
Or someone else is better qualified, or has more time.
But God isn’t asking someone else. He knows our heart,
And wouldn’t be troubling our heart over a matter
If He thought we weren’t the best fit.
Sometimes, in my life, I’ve been severely chastised
For failing, or being reluctant, to heed His still small voice;
God didn’t assign the path in which I’ve walked,
in life, to me alone; but has placed others in my path;
Some received help, or helped me, and moved on.
Others have stayed, but those that truly have blessed my heart
Are the ones who moved on and returned, at God’s urging,
For in them I am deeply humbled, in that they saw something,
Deep within me, that was worth returning for.
God’s Love.
